[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Zoom software updates

Tue Nov 21 13:32:40 PST 2023

Drew,

There is an intermittent bug in Zoom in which it doesn’t always show the Check For Update line.

I’ve has this before and I uninstalled Zoom, reinstalled it and then the option was there. Over time, it disappeared again. I am currently up to date on 5.16.6 but when a new version comes along I’ll have to reinstall from their website since the update option isn’t available.

It’s a known problem:

George, All,

Here is a 2-minute video I just made showing exactly how everyone should be updating their Zoom software:

Here is a very easy way to check your version number without running any software.

Look in the Windows Control Panel:

My way (free account) is to just open the Zoom App and see the display version number. It will be in a different location in the paid app, so I won't include a screenshot or anything like that.

Then I go to the Zoom Download Center (Zoom "Resources" Tab) in my web browser. I look at the available latest version of Zoom. If it's higher than what I have installed, I simply download and install the newer version.

Yes, it's a "brute force" approach and not automatic, but it works, and it takes me only a few minutes at most.

Then updates are usually at about two-week intervals. But with all the Zoom Meetings I have each week, just check for a new version each time I fire up Windows (or Linux) on my PCs. (I also check manually for Microsoft Defender definition updates each time I log in to Windows.)

I have a paid version and not sure how I find what version I have or how to update it? I get updates every once in a while automatically.

Any thoughts?

All,

Don't forget to upgrade your Zoom client.

If it's been more than a week since your last update, there's a newer version out there.

The current version is 5.16.6
